Jurassic Park (1993)

The first Jurassic Park film was innovative with its dinosaur special effects and changed the movie industry forever where photorealistic CGI became the norm.

However, I had two problems with the movie:

1. The pace is a bit slow.  The movie is also stingy with its special effects, probably due to the difficulty and cost of creating them at the time.

2.  I was put off by seeing young children in mortal danger.

I'm sure many people loved this film, as it was a summer blockbuster, but I felt uneasy with the movie.

Rating: B-

I liked the second, third, and fourth movies better.




At the end of season 3 episode 7 of The Orville, I heard a new music theme with just a few notes that sounded vaguely familiar.  With some effort, I figured out what this reminded me of...

John Williams is a great composer.  The first half of this theme is wonderful.  However, the second half seems repetitive.  The music is meant to be experienced with the movie.
